...Yes, these are the things that occupy my brain.
Ready? Let's go.
The greater the income inequality, the greater the societal instability. The greater the societal instability, the greater the likelihood of insurrection.
Laws should be written to favor a balance of human interests and natural ecosystem interests (plants, non-human animals, wildlife, etc.) as much as possible.
Liberty is expressed when healthcare, education, food, and housing aren't existential concerns.
A stable family is the cornerstone of a healthy American society. “Stable” doesn't only mean heterosexual parents.
We must do everything in our power to reverse climate change, immediately.
The American Constitution should be easier to change.
We should prioritize economic growth by investing in our children before investing in short-term GDP growth.
Systemic racism is a real and pernicious disease that must be educated out.
Scientific research and learning should be of paramount importance.
Government jobs should be enviable and offered to the brightest and most hardworking minds.
American public schools should be the envy of the world.
Mass transit > personal transit.
Humans are fundamentally irrational, and economic policies should reflect that.
American companies must prioritize business value to society over shareholders.
Americanness is about intangible values, not about tangible traits.
